本文以2007至2011年我國上市櫃公司為樣本,探討國內於2010年開始全面強制上市櫃公司改以XBRL格式申報財務報告之後,是否能降低資本市場資訊不對稱之程度,以及提升資訊效率。本研究採用股票日報酬率標準差、累積異常交易量作為資訊不對稱之代理變數,並以異常報酬率觀察市場對於資訊反應的速度。實證結果發現,實施XBRL財務報導格式與股票日報酬率標準差、累積異常交易量皆呈現顯著的負相關,表示公司導入XBRL格式後提升了財務報導透明度,並且有效降低資訊不對稱之程度。此外,觀察年度財務報告發布期間之異常報酬,發現實施XBRL之後,其異常報酬更加集中在財報發布當天至發布後第4天,而第5天至第10天發現之異常報酬明顯減少,顯示市場對於資訊的反應速度提昇,證實XBRL與資訊效率的正向關係。最後,依據實證結果,給予政府及未來研究者相關之建議。
This study examines the effect of mandatory XBRL disclosure on information asymmetry and information efficiency. We investigate the stock prices and related information on annual report filing date in Taiwan stock market over the period 2007-2011. Our findings show a significant and negative association between XBRL adoption and information asymmetry. The result suggests that the adoption of XBRL may reduce information asymmetry in Taiwan stock market. On the other hand, we find significant abnormal returns around the filing date. Moreover, after the adoption of XBRL, we find more abnormal returns during the first five days of annual report filing date. The result indicates the adoption of XBRL increases information efficiency. Finally, based on our findings, we present our suggestions to government and future research.
